Swift's Specific cured me of chronic
rheumatism which had troubled me
for fifteen years. / had taken every

the fact that the stocks of tobacco in

and the stock held in these markets
May 1st were 8,155 hhds. less than

THE KENTUCKY PLATFORM.
what Tennessee Papers Say Of It.

Tribune and Sun: Thus Kentucky
has spoken, and the message has
gone down the line and the spirit
permeated the country, and Democ-
racy is assured of a glorious victory
in 1888. The most able statesmen
of the country, of both wings of the
party, pronounce the administration
of Mr.. Cleveland clear and able, and
whatever views they may have on
questions of policy, there are none
but who admit his efficient services
to the nation while serving the high
est Office within the gift of thepeople.
The action of the Democracy of Ken
lucky In indorsing his administra-
tion will be seconded by every DEM
ocratic State as it takes its place in
the grand procession that will march
with Cleveland at its head to a GER
tain national victory for the party of
the people in 1888.
States Democrat: The platform of
the Kentucky Democracy has the
right of the true metal. 1t is worthy
of careful perusal, by Democrats to
strengthen them in the faith and by
Republicans to show them the folly
of still clinging to the dead issues of a
fast dying political organization.
Obion Democrat: Henry Waiter
son was on deck at the Kentucky
State convention and had big hand
in formulating the party platform.
He is, consequently, well pleased
with it and says "the Kentucky
idea" is the essence and the only
true standard Of Democracy. Mr..
Watterson is a great editor and a
brilliant speaker, and everything he
says is said in a trenchant, attractive
way, clothed in well-tittlng sentences
and rounded periods. He can mix
wise and foolish utterances together
with charming medley, and speaks
and writes at all times with the
earnestness Of honest sincerity. He
meets all real and imaginary foes
of his party with eloquent shouts
of defiance and rides as a Sir knight
of Democracy.

left him TO starve. Fearing that the
strain of bad blood in him might not
be destroyed by his death, the govern

A GOOD RULE.

The Senate Judiciary Committee has

ISIS that the committee will refuse 10
report favorabiy for confirmation to
any Judgeship a person more than
6O years of age. The rule was adopted
to put stop TO pensioning judges who
had served but brief terms on the bench.
Under the law Federal Judge may be
retired with full pay at the age of 70
years, and the judiciary committee
wisely concluded thatit was due to the
pubic treasury thatno person should be
made life pensioner at high salary
until he had served at least ten years
upon the bench. This rule will put on,
OF the question the probability of ex-
Congressman Randolph Tucker get
ting the place on the Supreme bench,
made vacant by the death of
Justice Woods. It is not likely that
Tucker would have been nominated,
as Mr.. Cleveland is not an ardent sd-
mirer of the blatherskite Virginian, and
fuckers doings in the matter OF anti
Mormon legislation did not elevate him |
IN the opinion of the President. Mr.. |
Cleveland, it will be remembered, could |
not put his name to the bill bearing the |
names Of Tucker and Edmunds, and
there is good reason to believe that had |
the measure reached him as it came |
from the brain and pen of Tucker and |
passed the House of Representatives,
the President would have vetoed it.
Therefore, while it is not likely Cleve-
and would have appointed Tucker, The

MORE CIVIL SERVICE NONSENSE.
saltLake City, Utah.

According to the opinion of high
department. official, as Published in the
Washington Star, under the new civil
sArVice rules, seven eighths of the old
government employees will have to go.
These new rules require that the old
chaps and employees in the department
shall submit to an examination. the
game as applicants for places. Why
shouldn't this course be followed :?
There is no good reason why an old
clerk who obtained employment by po-
litical influence should have the advan-
tage OF another who comes now without
political backing. The civil service law
Is humbug, and the rules formulated
under it are worse, in some respects
being almost silly. Of what possible
benefit can it be TO an abstract clerk or
accountant whose duties are confined
strictly to figures, to know the course,
size and direction of the river Pc? So
far as ability is concerned.
fellow has as little need for
much of the knowledge and
Information which he is required to
possess by the civil service rules, as he
has to know whether olive or pink is a

habitants of one of the planets.
But if it is right that new clerks
Should possess lot of information and
education that is absolutely worthless
to them, it is equally right that the old
clerks should enjoy the same advant-
axes. Competency and ability to per
form the duties required ought to be
regarded as sufficient qualification for
the place, but Congress, and the Civil
Service Commissioners think more
should be required, and thew REQUIRE
more from new men, hence all
should be treated alike. Ii the new
rules shall depopulate the departments
and turn seyen-eighths of the old faith
